How Can We Turn Off the Yellow Help Popups?

We use CF Builder 3 and 4 on various machines at work. When one hovers the mouse over a tag, a little yellow popup appears to explain what the tag is for. The explanations are inane, and rapidly become annoying because the popup appears right over the top of what you are trying to see.

I tried defining the settings in Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Hovers to enable these only on CTRL-SHIFT to no effect. Perhaps I am staring right at an option in Windows > Preferences > CF > Profiles > Editor, but cannot seem figure out how to turn this "feature" off. We like using Code Assist, but intensely despise the silly patronizing yellow tag "help". Can someone please advise how to turn these off? Thanks in advance.

Strange. 😞

That seems to me like the behaviour of the "Tag Editor". My guess is that the Tag Editor was discontinued - that is, removed from Builder's toolbar - after version 2. If so, then it would be as if your v.3 installation inherited old settings from v.2. 

 

The short-cut for Tag Editor used to be CTRL-SHIFT-T. What happens when you try that?

Is re-installing an option for you. I would if it bothered me that much, and there was no easy way out.
